Woodworking Shops and Air Cleaners

Many woodworking shops have the luxury and benefits of a central vacuum system that collects the chips and debris from saw blades, plainers, and sanders. Unfortunately, a significant amount of respirable dust, the real fine dust that clouds a shop, avoids being captured and becomes suspended. An air filtering system, hanging from the ceiling, will augment your central vacuum device. If you do not have a central vacuum system, the amount of suspended respirable dust becomes very significant.

The tiny suspended dust particles are very light and freely travel on the slightest air current. If there are no air currents the particles remain suspended until gravity and magnetic attraction causes them to settle on walls, floor and other surfaces. Exhaust fans seldom produce an air stream that moves these particles toward their inlet. Consequently, more heated and cooled air, rather than saw dust, is removed from the building.

A properly installed US Body Products workshop air cleaning system will create a specific circular air stream. This air stream causes the suspended dust to move rapidly to the filtering units. The filters remove up to 99% of the dust and circulate clean healthy air back into the shop. It is unlikely that the typical, unhealthy dust cloud will form when these units are in operation, and heated and refrigerated air will be preserved.

The primary filters are replaced each 6 to 18 months in most of the woodworking shops using our system, depending on production volume and other factors. The majority of these customers replace the primary filter annually.
